I GOT IT FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The solution is that you have to allow the phone to time out as opposed to actually turning it off. The new beta version of Nova has an option for this

1. Sign up for Nova beta by (if I remember correct) click on Nova Prime, click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select sign up for beta.
2. Follow the directions to sign up for the beta testing
3. Go to the app in the play store and update it.
4. Back in Nova settings, at the bottom click on advanced and then Screen Lock Method and select Timeout.

Fixed

Sorry... What does switching it to timeout accomplish? Which btw I can't see that option.

Edit : sorry was not on latest.

Right. That's why I listed the steps. Setting to screen timeout is the same as letting the screen time out to the normal 30 or 60 seconds you have it set to where ur doesn't lock the phone in a way you need the pin for. But it does it in a few seconds instead of 30. You need to sign up for Nova Beta before you can see that option. Figured this all out from the last 2 pages of that Thread I posted the link to.

I appreciate the help. I'm on 5.0 beta. Which it's telling me it up to date, and I've updated all I can. Still not seeing the setting. I've been on beta for awhile. Getting excited for a fix lol.

I'm on 5 beta 4

All the way at the bottom under advanced features there is the choice of lock method. Click on that. I'd post a picture of it but can't figure out how to do it from my phone

So you don't have an option below aggressive desktop? Odd

No I don't. That is odd. Wonder if something else needs to be turned on to get that. Don't know

You should write to nova guy and ask him. He is usually pretty responsive.

I don't know if this would make a difference or not but under the double tap gesture I set it to the Nova screen off instead of to the app that I was using

Tried, made no difference.
